Went by local Walmart and in the muzzle loading section I noticed some things I’ve never seen in a Walmart before. Remington Large rifle and large rifle magnum primers! Probably over 20 boxes of 1000. Plus StaballHD and other powders. I bought a box of NBT 277 130’s for $30. Wish they had...

I use Gibbs lubricant. Spray any new metal before putting it in the field. Guns, Locks, reloading dies etc. Ace hardware guy put me on to it. If you go to their web site, you'll see they ahve Harley Davidson Roots and made it for many environments including Marine...

With Barnes TTSX, my 270 loved RL17. SD was 3. H4831 was the previous owners go to powder, but i was seeing SD's like 30 so set it aside for RL17. CCI primers. Using Norma Brass. Previous owner used mixed headstamps. I have some starline that I will be teaming up with Nosler BT's and...

Have the RCBS Supreme… the camlock is difficult to use on it. Need to find an old rcbs or Lyman for pulling. Have lots of 270s made by someone else and since the boxes are not consistent,,, ie labeled Hornady Interlock 140, and I find a grand slam 150 in there… and the dude used 59 grains of...

Hi Guy, Talked to my youngest today… this is exactly what he’s starting to look for…360 buckhammer from Henry and a 1.5-5x scope

Electron is in Gladwin. When you get up this way.. find me. I’m on the board at Freeland conservation club (sporting clays/5stand/skeet/trap) And a member at Midland. (Pretty complete and affordable club, pistol, rifle, shotguns, archery…I grew up at 14 and Schoenherr which you’ll know being...

Steve, I didn’t realize how close you are to me. I live in midland, so main hunting spots are midland/clare county and Manistee county… wife and son work in bay city… Agree. 3030 and 4570 should be ok in shotgun zone…

So helped a farmer with a 350 Legend. Loaded Barnes TSX HP 170gn over win 296. It was very good at killing game fast. Mike Avery - Michigan outdoor magazine, radio show/podcaster… took a 350 legend on a black bear hunt and it did the job just fine. Was actually a bit impressed. I’d rather...

Well, it could be. Has a Zeiss Conquest 3 on it. I’ve never tried swapping it out. I’ve got a couple handy. Thank you for the suggestion… I agree… simple things make sense… maybe the old plastic m70 stock was ok…. If/when I figure it out.. will update you….prior owner had trouble with it...

prior owner of this model 70 300 WSM used H4831 and H4831SC with 150 partitions. I wasn’t particularly impressed with his ammo. Seemed twitchy to me… (easy to get variability or worse, hard to get consistentcy). I have heard good things about Win760 or H414 in 300 WSM with 180’s. The model 70...

Buy what you like.. that’s the only place RL’s are found.. I cleaned out my locals RL17

I tore mine weight lifting. Right arm. Didn’t seek treatment or diagnosis. I’ve had orthopedic surgeries in my knee and being in my mid 60’s, I don’t heal particularly fast. It’s been over a year now and my arm is getting back to full strength. Lefts feels better and is a little stronger...

Hi Brad! Hope all is well. Doing ok down in Midland. Got a retirement package in May so enjoying deceleration! Hunting more, fishing more… lots of home projects that were neglected. Mark

Happy Thanksgiving Coconut cream, Granny Smith apple, pumpkin and carrot cake with cream cheese frosting… home made ice cream in freezer…

Wild man… I dread that. Praying for a speedy recovery and someone drops a big pile of venison at your door step!

Thanks Jim. Probably out Tuesday and Friday this week in Manistee area. Not much going on my 40. Still working on improving the cover and food plots. Will add a watering station next spring. Looks like it’s holding a half dozen does.. a couple nice bucks have been my looking for them.. a...

First, thank you to all you enablers and teachers of this reloading craft. I’m getting better at quickly getting to great loads… This is not my rifle, but given its performance with a minimal investment in a savage with a kit scope…Michigan has a line which I’m a couple miles north off, us...
